Wi-Fi's biggest advantage is that it provides mobility and coverage. But early versions of Wi-Fi did not achieve data rates on par with the wireline network. Recent advancements in wireless research ...
Sometimes we take for granted that engineers can create new technologies that far surpass anything we may have thought possible just a few years ago. IEEE 802.11n is a good case in point. I can recall ...
As 802.11n slowly crawls toward becoming a wireless standard, IT managers have to decide whether it's the right time to switch. Unfortunately, the standard is stuck in draft status. Here's why. You ...
The IEEE 802.11n standard is likely to be approved in September, making the high-speed wireless LAN technology official after about seven years of wrangling and refinement. The 802.11 working group, ...
Earlier today the IEEE finally approved the 802.11n standard. The Wi-Fi Alliance will update its Wi-Fi testing/certification program by September 30 to reflect a few optional additions made to the ...
A second draft of the proposed IEEE standard for 100+Mbit/sec. wireless LANs is being pushed back several months, with a vote on it likely in January instead of late fall. The IEEE task group charged ...
The IEEE 802.11n Working Group this week approved draft 2.0 of the standard, paving the way for speedier 100+Mbit/sec. wireless LAN products as early as this summer. Just over 83% of working group ...
Editor’s Note: The following story is reprinted from InfoWorld. For more of InfoWorld’s Mac coverage, visit its Enterprise Mac page. After much debate and a lot of contention among the overall IEEE ...
The process of finalizing the IEEE 802.11n specification is proving tricky, and the IEEE task group overseeing it is now saying that the final release probably won’t happen until early 2008. The early ...
Backward compatibility with the legacy devices (IEEE 802.11b/g) The typical 802.11n network consists of legacy 802.11b/g enabled systems and new 802.11n enabled MIMO-OFDM systems. The channel access ...
